Held uptown at a Park Aveunue event space decorated with large white flowers and populated with men and women dressed to the nines, it was an incredibly pretty affair. DJ Solange Knowles provided the tunes as guests mingled, nibbled on hors d'oeuvres, and kept an eye out in case her sisterBeyoncehappened to stop by. It didn't happen, but no matter. Guests were given plenty to gawk at flipping through the gorgeous photographs, many of the evenings attendees and all epitomes of American beauty.
